This exclusive ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Podcast was conducted with Dr. Jose Antonio who had studied endocrinology and metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he also researched skeletal muscle plasticity. Antonio is currently an Assistant Professor of Exercise Physiology and Biology at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida.

Protein Supplement

We were able to catch up with the Jose Antonio in Columbus, Ohio at the EAS-Sports Nutrition Symposium. Dr. Antonio gave a well received lecture on sports nutrition supplementation...and the practical application and interpretation of scientific literature. Jose is a very candid speaker with interesting stories and definitely practices what he preaches! In fact, he's Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

In this podcast, we discussed primarily Creatine ....what it is... how it's used as a supplement. Also, we discussed caffiene use and protein, too.

In the past twenty-eight years, I've attended countless strength and conditioning clinics. Each one always has some sort of sports nutritionist or registered dietitian on hand to speak to the importance of getting the correct balance of nutrients into the athlete's body. It's science... and art too. Invariably, it's suggested for athletes to consume peanut butter. The protein benefits to cost ratio is also a huge plus. It's a very affordable and quality food that's satiable, too!

Okay, it's crunch time: Not all peanut butters are created equal. Sure, there's the old standbys at the local grocery.... you know the brands. But, most of those have additives and sugar content that just make them not all that appetizing nor appealing. That being said, let me introduce The Southern Spreads Gourmet Peanut Butter. I have just finished several days of sampling of the six varieties of Southern Spreads, all of which are quite interesting. For now, I'll have to favorite the Carolina Crunch.... just for the excitement factor. The reality is that these are some products that have great taste, very good protein values and well worth an order!
